A Glimpse into Godfrey: Oct. 21, 2015

The Village Board is looking at amending an ordinance related to abandoned or neglected vehicles.

The amendment to the nuisance ordinance would add unlicensed or no plate/expired sticker vehicles. The ordinance already includes vehicles incapable of being driven because of missing parts, wheels, etc. for seven days or longer.

An updated version of the ordinance will come before the board for approval next month.

Village enforces burning schedule

Through Dec. 31, leaves and yard waste can be burned between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays only. All fires must be extinguished and not smoldering after 3 p.m. The village also does not want burning in streets and curbs and gutters, as well.

Trustee Eldon “Twirp” Williams voiced concern that residents may not be adhering to the restrictions or may not be aware of the set times.
